In anticipation of Catalyst’s annual Employee Resource Leadership Initiative (ERLI) conference taking place in Toronto in May 2016, we invite you to join Catalyst Canada's Vandana Juneja, Senior Director, and David Lau, Senior Associate, for a roundtable discussion to learn more about ERGs and Catalyst's ERLI which helps to engage and connect ERG leaders across companies. In this interactive session, we will present Catalyst research, tools, and resources available to ERG leaders; discuss leading-edge practices from Catalyst member organizations; and explore challenges faced by ERGs as well as solutions for overcoming them. Join our discussion to learn how your ERG can become more impactful and aligned with your business, and to share common ERG challenges and success factors.

This event is complimentary to employees from Catalyst member organizations. We invite ERG/network leaders, co-chairs, executive sponsors, diversity and inclusion professionals, and others with ERG responsibilities to attend this session. Content is applicable to all ERGs, including those focused on women, generations, visible minorities, people with disabilities, the Aboriginal community, the LGBT community, and other demographics.

The value and benefit of a diverse workforce has been proven time and time again. The question is no longer should we have a diverse workforce, it is how to benefit from a diverse workforce. The way BlessingWhite and Catalyst think about diversity is in visible and invisible ways; in the form of things you can see like gender, race, ethnicity, age, etc., and also in the form of things you can’t necessarily see like communication style, introversion or extroversion, sexual orientation, life experiences, religion, work history, international exposure, and more. A diverse workforce is among us, regardless of what we look like. So how do we recognize that diversity, and use it as a competitive advantage?

Catalyst has done extensive research in the field of diversity and inclusion, and has identified four competencies of an inclusive leader: empowerment, accountability, courage, and humility. We refer to this as The EACH Mindset.

In this 2.5-hour virtual instructor-led course, we will bring to life the concept of inclusion, we’ll provide insightful ways to combat unconscious bias, we’ll discuss practical tools for understanding and leveraging a diverse team, and we’ll highlight some of the best practices that Catalyst research has identified.
